Oh, man. This got to be one of the games I enjoyed the most of all the games I played in this jam. Raising an army of the dead that follows you and help you fight made me feel so badass. I absolutely love the last battle- it just felt so satisfying. The art and the music compliments the style really well. Impressive!

Recharge Your RocketFeels really good to have an army of undead under my commands!
But what happened to the rats I resurrected in tutorial? I want my pet rats back. >:(

Lapin and The Spirit TotemsAwesome concept. I like the powerful feeling after resurrecting dozens of skeletons into my army. To my taste the movement was a bit slow and the boss could have used a health bar. The game has great sound design and atmosphere.

Crypto HamsterAwesome! I know pathfinding can be quite a nightmare to program, but the game does it quite nicely. My only complaint is that it is hard to know if you are doing well or not (the game is easy, but I have no way to tell if it is because I played it well or if it is intended to be easy). The theme is nice and fitting (but it could have some sort of urgency, like depleting energy or something like that) and it is kinda satisfying to march towards the village with your army of the dead. Nicely done!
Nice concept here! :) Good job creating the atmosphere. Please add more abilities!

Methane HeroLike they said in an old flash parody "In today's episode skeletor chased after too much power, don't you chase after to much power or i'll come after you TOO !" XD
Okay so dumb jokes aside this is really good and i really like the spritework as well, plus the music really sells the atmosphere and this put me in a sorta vibe of the first blood omen game in the sense that, you may be the protagonist but you're not the good guy.
Even though gameplay wise it's not related at all, your game also brought back fond memories of playing Heroes of might and magic 2 when you have a necromancer character and each battle earns you the bonus oh having the enemies revived as skeletons joining your army :p
And i also like the fact that you didn't seem to put a cap on how many skeletons you can have, and this is awesome as you really feel like you're having an army more than just a group of summons.
Really did not have any particular issues with this one, so i don't know what i could say more.
Congrats you did a good job :)

Point Zero KnightGreat Game. It has nice details like the light going on as you pass, the green fire you instantly recognize as a life source. The animation of the skelies walkiing are very good. You can reanimate everything you kill. Well done!

Photon's JourneyI had so many minions! I really felt the black magic in this game, the pixelart is great, the music sets a nice ambiance and gameplay is fun. Nice!
Submitted
Nuclear ReactionThat was really good, and not what I was expecting. It would have been nice to see a longer story, but I guess you did as mush as you could for a short jam.
Submitted
Planet FallNice Game and Art, I think the energy bar should take a while to regenerate, maybe only if you kill someone, for now it's unlimited power
